I've had this scope for years and it's served me well on several rifles.  Anyone know where I could find a sunshade for it?  SHould have bought one when I bought the scope!!  Thanks for any info.

As far as I know there is not a shade for it and one was never made.  The tasco scopes that would accept a shade always came with the scope.

All scopes appear to be threaded for a sun shade but most are not.  Those threads are actually for lenses and retainer rings.  Of the three pictured here only one will accept a sun shade.

 

 

Another thing to keep in mind is that most scopes made to accept a sun shade, come with a sun shade.
